Exciting Day!

Today is a very exciting day! Why you ask? Because today is little man's first every swim practice with the swim team.

About a year ago he started taking private lessons from the coach of the team.  He over came some really big obstacles, he was afraid to put his face in the water.  But now he is a big man on the swim team.

Last week his coach said he was ready so I immediately signed him up.  I couldn't be a prouder momma if I tried.  Now instead of a soccer mom I have become a swim mom.  Which is great because I love swimming. I am so glad that I was able to pass my love for the water on to him.

Now to get out my big slow cooker cookbook.  I am going to need it for quick dinners after practice.  Someone is going to get very hungry, very quickly.

The dog days of summer

I'm pretty sure this is the exact definition of that saying.

This is Indy, short for Indiana Jones. Three weeks ago I adopted him from a rescue for the little man. It was love at first sight. Indy went right over to little man and laid down in his lap. I thought every boy should have a dog. In my mind I had romantic visions of them camping in the backyard and digging in dirt together. You know typical boy things. Our house was going to be a scene straight out of Where The Red Fern Grows.

Unfortunately I didn't factor puppy into that equation. While Indy is a great dog he still chews and is working on being house broken. My house has been turned upside down. But since they are both so cute together I will suck it up and wait this period out. I know it will be worth it. Because happiness always trumps poop right? If it didn't no one would have babies anymore.
